In the last 18 months further evidence has emerged supporting the use of TARGIT IORT for breast cancer.

The Full Report of the TARGIT-A trial was published in the HTA Journals in September 2016.
This contains several additional analyses including a) subgroup analysis as per tumour and patient characteristics b) formal health economic analysis c) analysis of the earliest cohort of patients with a median follow up of 5 years had the same results as the main trial, viz. – that TARGIT and EBRT had similar breast cancer control and non-breast-cancer deaths were fewer with TARGIT.

TARGIT IORT radiotherapy during lumpectomy for breast cancer could save millions of travel miles & tonnes of CO2. …plus free up thousands of hours for women with early stage breast cancer, every year. Video AbstractFull paperPress release by the BMJ

In the figure below, PBI means Partial Breast Irradiation i.e., radiation only to the area near the tumour rather than the whole breast (Whole Breast Irradiation WBI).
The red diamond shows the overall effect from several trials with over 4000 patients. If the diamond sits on the vertical line, it means there is no effect – and if it is on the left it means that treatment is better for the patient.
So PBI (using TARGIT IORT as a single shot radiation at the time of lumpectomy for breast cancer, for example) reduces mortality, possibly by avoiding irradiation of vital organs, while maintaining cancer control.
